This may not be getting much attention...but San Bernadino, the site of the muslim attack at the Christmas party that murdered 14 people is now a shooting gallery.......they have seen a spike in gun murder that they haven't seen since the 1990s.....
This is the formula they are following......reductions in the police force + short sentences for violent criminals.....it is the democrat mix..........you see this in Chicago as well.....spend money on everything but police, refuse to sentence violent criminals caught with guns to more than a year in jail...then sit around and wonder why gun murder is spiking.....
Since anti gun activists only care about disarming normal gun owners, and could not care less about actual crime.....they push for more laws that target law abiding people while the criminals run free and murder people....
the short term solution to this problem.....Fucking lock up violent criminals for a long time and don't give parole or bail to violent criminals who use guns.......
Longer term.......you have to get teenagers to stop having children.....they are the ones creating the killers by having generations of single, teenage mothers raising young males without adult fathers who can teach them impulse control and how not to murder other people......
Going after law abiding gun owners does nothing to stop gun murder in these communities....
After mass shooting, San Bernardino endures a surge in deadly violence: 150 shootings, 47 slayings
With four months left in 2016, there have been 150 shootings and 47 slayings in the city of 216,000 residents. It had 44 homicides all of last year, including the 14 people killed by terrorists at the Inland Regional Center.
The city is now on track to have more murders than in any year since 1995, when 67 people were killed, and there is no clear explanation why.
Actually......the equation above explains why....
Police Chief Jarrod Burguan says the city has been especially hard hit by state initiatives that reduced some drug and property-related felonies to misdemeanors, leading to shorter sentences for criminals.

Because of San Bernardino’s financial turmoil, which began even before it declared bankruptcy in 2012, the size of the Police Department has been reduced repeatedly over the years.
The ranks have gotten so thin that officers who specialize in drugs, gangs and traffic enforcement have been reassigned to patrol just to keep up with calls for service.
“We’re not getting to calls fast enough,” Burguan said. “We don’t have the capacity to investigate everything that’s reported in the city.”

In 2008, there were more than 340 police officers on the force. Today, there are about 215.
The gang unit used to be twice its size, Luna said.
The department has fewer officers per capita than nearby Riverside and Ontario, neither of which have comparable problems with violence.
Burguan said he needs about 300 officers to comfortably meet the city’s basic service needs — more, he said, if city officials expect to blunt violence through sheer police presence.
The city is trying to make do as it prepares to emerge from bankruptcy later this year.
The Police Department is trying to fill about 30 vacancies and is hoping for a federal grant to add 11 officers. But the hiring process is slow.
